Dr. Sina Kasraeian

SINA KASRAEIAN, MD, FACS, an alumnus of the Bolles School, completed his undergraduate training at University of Florida and went on to complete his medical training at University of Southern California (USC). While at USC, Dr. Kasraeian had the privilege of being elected president of Alpha Omega Alpha, a national honor society recognizing top medical students.

He completed his Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at USC, training at the USC/Los Angeles County Medical Center–one of the top trauma centers in the country–where he gained extensive experience in fracture management and developed a special interest in shoulder, elbow and upper extremity trauma and reconstruction. During his Sport Medicine & Arthroscopy Fellowship at the prestigious Southern California Orthopedic Institute, he trained among pioneers of shoulder, hip, knee and foot & ankle arthroscopy. He is one of the few specialists in the area fellowship-trained in shoulder, hip, knee as well as foot & ankle arthroscopy and reconstructive procedures.

Among other associations, he is a member of the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA), American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS). He was recently acknowledged as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), an honor he now shares with his father and brother. His research has been presented and recognized at national and international meetings including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). He also volunteers his time to teach shoulder, knee and foot & ankle arthroscopy to other orthopaedic surgeons throughout the United States as well as visitors from around the world at the AANA Orthopaedic Learning Center.

Among other affiliations, he provides medical coverage for the United States Ski and Snowboard Association, the United States Beach Volleyball/Association of Volleyball Professionals and the FIVB (Federation Internationale de Volleyball), where he recently acted as the Medical Director for the Swatch FIVB World Tour, an invitational event in which only the top ten men’s and women’s beach volleyball teams in the world compete.

Dr. Kasraeian was involved in soccer and tennis at the Bolles School and was on the crew team at the University of Florida. Currently, he enjoys outdoor activities, water sports and spends most of his free time at the beach. The list of his interests includes surfing, snowboarding, sailing, scuba diving, beach volleyball, hiking/climbing and biking.

As a result of his background and interest in many of the non-traditional sports, Dr. Kasraeian feels he can better understand the nature of extreme sports athletes and their associated injuries.

Note that Dr. Kasraeian has received his Orthopaedic Surgery Board Certification as well as his Subspecialty Certificate in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.

Dr. Kasraeian and his partners at Orthopaedic Associates of St. Augustine have offices adjacent Flagler Hospital and Baptist South Medical Center. To learn more about Sina Kasraeian, MD, FACS please visit www.JaxOrtho.com and www.oastaug.com.
